Sep 25, 2016 at 23:36 comment added Asvin @rtz I have noticed that a lot of Indians use "Sir" a lot on the internet. I am not entirely sure why this is - probably a symptom of Indian culture where respect towards seniors/elders is of paramount importance. (I myself grew up in India but in an urban, essentially westernized family)
Sep 25, 2016 at 23:02 comment added Tensor_Product @rtz , Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language. Anyway Thanks for your advice.
Sep 25, 2016 at 22:53 comment added stupid_question_bot Personally, whenever someone with strange sentence structure and grammar uses "Sir", I automatically picture a Nigerian prince (ie, a scammer). Of course I doubt any scammer would be asking questions about galois covers of projective lines, but in any case, mathoverflow is not a very formal venue, so there's no need to address anyone as "Sir".

Sep 25, 2016 at 22:13 comment added Joe Silverman In your example, if you take $n=2$, that is, take the map $z\mapsto z^2$, then the double cover $X$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb P_{\mathbb Q}^1$, and the map is clearly Galois. So possibly you want your cover to be cyclic of order at least 3?
